Great extension
by Ab*****, 2024-08-19

Excellent! Works really well with the new Chrome downloads toolbar 'Icon' that has now replaced the bottom tray. One of the super-nice selectable features is that it will auto-clear downloads that have been moved or deleted, which totally (and automatically) unclutters the downloads list/page - and it also let's you customize the auto-clear timeframe for recent/older downloads! So happy to have found this extension. Thank you, Kevin! ❤ (please continue to maintain this great extension when needed!)

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Download Auto Clear requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Allows management of download operations but generally doesn't severely affect security unless misused.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Download Auto Clear has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
